Or move north to the beautiful lakefront!!! Love that I have grew up and still live on the south shore of Lake Michigan in Indiana!!
Was in Indy/Greenwood for a wedding yesterday, spend a lot of time down there because of the craft beer scene and I have lots of friends and family there. Have never had an issue, and like anything else, just know your surroundings and where you're at!! The winters will be a tad bit milder for you, depending on where you're coming from in MI.
